Hello!
Please, how can I find in diary under excercising different values for different weghts?
I was lifting today 4 kg for a half of the minute, but how would I write if I was lifting 5 or 10 kg?
Many thanks!

    Jst use the Calisthenics entry or strength training entry under cardio.

    Under "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training" I can just choose MY OWN weight, not the weight of the things I lift...

    It depends. Are you holding your breath while lifting?

    I started few days ago with my friend's weights.
    He has changable 1.25 kg and 0.75kg on each one 2x, so he can estimate the weight.

    My question is how can I write to DIARY HERE what weight I lifted, because I can choose just my own weight (not hte weight I lift???) and the time how long I did it...???

    (I do not believe that one minute lifting 110 lbs woulld take just 7 kcal anyway,...)

    The correct answer is C) don't waste your time using the terrible log here for your strength entries. Get an app like jefit instead
